Glad i read this thread guys. i was planning to use my army issue boots with some dremel work on the arch. i must have overlooked the difference. looks like VERY weathered white boots with tan soles. maybe paint tan boots white and weather them with some dark grey misting would do the trick. i will test this when i can get another pair of boots to play with.
as for the gloves, if i may share my opinion, i think the cuff looks fine but the pads on the back of the hand look too shiney to me. might just be the flash but it looks like the leather is pulled too tight over the padding.
please take my opinions for what they are, i have not yet started and i am in research mode seeing what has been done and not started my build yet.
